Hearing mama raising a deaf child bilingually. Welcome to the chaos.
It’s called Fools Spring for a reason.

It’s me. I’m the fool.

The only things “breaking” with this constant stream of Breaking News…are our hearts and minds. 💔

Petition for a new Do Not Disturb phone mode but instead of Do Not Disturb…it’s a No Political Content mode where you can just take in the light and funny and happy content without fearing the next post will tear your heart out of your chest and make you doubt humanity.

Me every morning with my finger hovering over social media:

“Do I want to be informed or do I want to have a good day?”

Imagine having the opportunity to, at the very least, FAKE compassion and empathy…and instead choosing to further your bizarre vendetta against DEI, blaming it for a literally plane crash, and then claim “common sense” is how you came to that conclusion.

I like that name. That’s a nice name.

Raise your hand if you get airplane entertainment anxiety…feeling like other people are judging your choice if it gets too violent, sexual, etc. 👀 ✈️

From my mama: “If you learn anything from me, remember these things.”

1. Whatever you do to your face you do to your neck.

2. Keep hitting the bad guy until he’s dead.

3. Don’t ever let anybody massage your stomach.

4. When you travel with someone, set up their morning coffee too.

Dear Egg-Voters:

All these executive orders…and yet your eggs still cost $4.

I hope the potential of maybe possibly saving a few dollars hypthetically someday was worth watching families be torn apart. 🤗

We are not going back.
We are not going back.
We are not going back.

It might feel that way. It might look that way. It might sound that way.

But we won’t let it BE that way.

Don’t sit down. Don’t shut up. Don’t give in.

Kindle, I beg of you, move the power button to the top of the kindle so we can lie down and rest it on surfaces without it shutting off.

Sincerely, a stomach reader.

Legitimately want to stay in Mexico and not return to the shitshow that is home.

At least we live in Minnesota and have Tim Walz. 💙

My loves, if you find today or any day difficult for you, I find there can be comfort in Tolkien’s words.
While some times may be terrifying, infuriating, or devastating, it is never hopeless.

Dear lots of you: if you put a bunch of emojis in your name, screen readers will read the descriptions of all of them, every time. One or two isn't bad, but a lot is, well, a lot.

Headed to Mexico for vacation and torn between taking advantage of being in another country/unplugging, but also wanting to be informed. 😞

The amount of envy I have toward people who can just shut their eyes and fall asleep on planes is infinate.
